Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, who will likely be named the Democratic presidential nominee at his party's national convention next week in Denver, has yet to visit Fresno, but his campaign team is ready to reopen its local headquarters, which closed after the Feb. 5 primary.

The Obama team has invited environmental advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. -- who is also son and namesake of the 1968 presidential hopeful -- to cut the ribbon at the Obama `08 office, 421 W. Shaw Avenue, at 2 p.m. Saturday.

Kennedy added his support to Obama recently after backing Sen. Hillary Clinton during the primaries.

As for Obama's main competition, staffers for likely Republican nominee John McCain say the Arizona senator has had a local headquarters up and running for quite a while now. It's the Fresno County Republican Party headquarters at 83 E. Shaw Ave., Suite 204.
